Free exam study planner
Study schedule maker
Type the exam date, one topic per line, and the hours you can study each day. You get a day-by-day plan that covers every topic, revisits each one after a gap, and keeps the day before the exam light. No login, and nothing leaves this page.
The assignment planner orders deadlines and gives each one a start-by date.

How the schedule is built
Count the days between today and the exam. The day before the exam is reserved as a light final review. Roughly the first sixty percent of the remaining days are the learning pass, where topics are spread evenly in the order you entered them. The rest are the review pass, where every topic comes back once more. Each day's hours are split evenly across that day's topics.
With six topics, an exam eight days out, and two hours a day, that is five learning days at one or two topics each, two review days at three topics each, and a one-hour run through everything the night before. The two passes are deliberately separated by days rather than hours; the gap is what spaced practice means.
Making a study session count
- Learning days: read or watch, then close the material and write out what you remember. Work problems without the solution open.
- Review days: start from a blank page, not the notes. Practice questions, past quizzes, and explaining a topic out loud all beat rereading.
- Final day: skim summaries, redo the problems you got wrong on review days, and stop early enough to sleep.
From course to study pack
The topics above are the hard part to get right, and Canvas already has them in your modules and pages. Assignly connects with your school login, reads the course, and lets Sage build an active-recall study pack from the real materials, so review days have questions to answer instead of notes to reread.

How does the study schedule maker split topics across days?
The days before the exam are split into a learning pass and a review pass. Every topic gets a first session in the earlier days, then comes back for a second session later, and the day before the exam is a half-length review of everything. That spacing is the point: a second look after a gap is what makes material stick.
Why is the last day lighter?
Cramming the night before crowds out sleep, and sleep is when the previous days consolidate. The final day is scheduled at half your usual hours and covers every topic briefly, so it is a check, not a first look.
What if I only have one or two days?
With two days you get one full learning day covering every topic and a lighter final day. With one day the whole plan is a single review session. Either way the maker tells you the hours it assumes so you can decide what to cut.
How many topics should I enter?
One line per thing you could be tested on that you would study separately: a chapter, a problem type, a lecture unit. Six to twelve is typical for a midterm. Order them the way the course taught them; the plan keeps that order in both passes.
Does the schedule account for my classes and work?
Only through the hours-per-day number. Enter what you can realistically give after classes and work, not the number you wish you had. A plan you cannot follow is worse than a shorter one.
Can Assignly build this from my Canvas course?
The Assignly desktop app connects with your school login and reads your Canvas modules, pages, and files, so Sage can turn a course into a study pack of active-recall questions without you retyping the topics. This page uses only what you enter here.
